It's not supposed to be visible, no. Everything there varies from about one to twelve points above black, which is about where my monitor can't really tell the difference and until now I assumed most couldn't. Thing is, there's supposed to be an acceptable scale there, I adjust photo contrast for it and light scenes for it, but it appears mine might be way, way off. Which is, y'know, bad, 'cos I'm trying to sell photos based off scans I do from this computer and all, and don't get nice things like cars and food and new non-****ty monitors if I'm unintentionally making everything look like ass.
